The consciousness of the universal machine is timeless, and spaceless. It is somehow 100% unfocused, without any attention, and it might plausibly be related to the highly dissociative state that some people seemed to describe in experience with some drug. It is also the initial consciousness of all differentiating histories along the infinitely many computations. I do not use this in my published work, but since sometimes, I am not sure we can avoid this conclusion. It is a certainly counter-intuitive. Yet it coorbariate the fact that time and space belong the category of mind (a bit like in Kant, and in other idealist philosophies, Greek or German). This could be wrong without entailing any change in what I consider already derived from mechanism.
